Invest in You
This was the title of a Fox Business channel documentary run between noon and two today, with Charles Payne, Liz Claman and a bunch of other Foxies in front of a live studio audience. The problem is that the special … Continue reading

Samsung Still Doesn’t Get Customer Service
My wife bought a snazzy new Samsung side by side refigerator and freezer three years ago when we remodelled our kitchen. We had one service call to fix the icemaker under warranty once before, which was handled on a weekday….no … Continue reading
Homeless Havens
This post has been ruminating around for a while, and I might have blogged about it before. The federal government has several thousand empty buildings, and they aren’t for some reason selling them. So, why not put the homeless in … Continue reading

Chase Overdraft Crap

White Castle, the venerable seller of sliders, recently opened in Scottsdale AZ. I decided I’d bring a bag home; my wife doesn’t know ol White Castle. I wanted to know if I could order a bag of 10 through the … Continue reading
FBI, Fix Your Culture
The FBI, and to a lesser extent, Department of Justice, need a culture makeover. They are both probably notoriously top down driven, and not too tolerant of diverse opinions, we imagine. We have seen this before in government agencies, because … Continue reading
Bonfire of the Vanities
